The IP team at Herzog Fox & Neeman is prolific in the trademark realm, executing complex filings such as 3D trademarks and protecting clients against infringers. Led by soft IP veteran Karen Elburg who is an ‘unparalleled expert in her field’, the group manages a substantial volume of trademarks for a variety of multinationals and domestic players in consumer goods, fintech, real estate, and more, with notable expertise in online gaming and gambling. Adar Bengom comes highly recommended for her guidance on trademark filing and strategy, and Stav Cohen and Adi Golding are two more names to note.
